Clients with eating disorders must grieve the loss of their thin fantasy if they are to recover successfully. I challenge clients to address what beliefs they have long held about who they will be, how they will feel, what opportunities they will have and satisfaction they will achieve when they are thin. I ask them to reach for those things now, in the bodies they currently have instead of waiting until that day when they see themselves as "good enough". Believing that they must be thin to deserve good in their lives keeps them stuck . The willingness to grieve the thin fantasy allows them to offer a bit of what they really crave, unconditional love.

Grief and loss can take on many forms and look different ways. We most often think of grief as the death of a loved one and while this is true, grief and loss can be much more common in our lives. We can experience it through break-ups, job loss/change, our children moving out, and other life transitions. I strive to validate and normalize each client's experience and help you realize that your grief is real.

Whitney Johnson, MAMFT, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I work with clients to find acceptance of the painful losses they have experienced in their lives. Clients often come to therapy stuck & unable to move forward due to losses they have endured. Therapy can greatly benefit clients experiencing grief & loss issues. We work together to process the loss, discuss stages of grief & begin working towards deeper healing & acceptance. We never fully "get over" the losses in our lives, but we learn how to accept them & move towards a healthier view of the loss. Beginning the healing process is not a quick fix but also is not something that takes too long either. You can heal! I would be happy to talk with you more about my approach to grief and loss!

I work with clients using Cognitive Behavior Therapy allowing them to explore the positive and negative aspects of their loss. My work with those who are grieving the death of a loved one includes story telling to celebrate their loved one life. We often craft a letter together to provide opportunity for communicating unexpressed feelings, thoughts and personal needs since the loss. It is important for clients to understand that the stages of grief are not on a linear path. I encourage those experiencing loss to use proper self-care, allowing themselves to grieve over time.

Katherine Good, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

We all experience grief and loss but many people do not recognize it as such. I help people identify their sense of loss and then I give them tools to help in their recovery process. I provide empathy and normalization as well as genuine positive regard. I listen in a nonjudgmental fashion which helps people work through their struggles and grief.

Katherine Cato, M.A., LPC, CEAP

Licensed Professional Counselor

When you experience loss, it is normal to feel clumsy, confused, and overwhelmed or numb at times. Many people feel hopeless and worthless, and sometimes guilty and "left behind". My practice is focused on couples, and we often face our losses together as a couple. Counseling can help you learn how to be there for each other during your grieving.
Counseling can help you if you desire to:
Get the support you need to recover from loss.
Identify the stages of grief and your progress through them. Find out what to expect, so you can stop wondering if your grief is "normal".
Let go of painful guilt and shame about your losses, while building hope and renewed interest in your future.

Meredith Stokke, MC, NCC, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I specialize in treating grief and loss, and believe that counseling after losing a loved one can be a helpful, healthy and effective way to process feelings and work towards healing. I like to educate my clients about grief, because there are many misconceptions about grief. I walk with people through their pain and work hard to help them honor and memorialize their loved ones as they work hard to keep living their lives with purpose and value.
